E-terra and Smallworld Electric Office integrated by Globema

Our team once again contributed to the development of GE Smallworld GIS solutions portfolio. This time, in cooperation with the GE Smallworld Cambridge team, we’ve introduced new features to version 5 of Smallworld GIS Adapter.

Smallworld Electric Office with the GIS Adapter provides an automated ability to introduce the network to outage management and maintenance systems using industry standard business workflows and IEC CIM v15 data standards.

Our team extended GIS Adapter with the ability to export network data from Smallworld Electric Office to e-terra ADMS system (and support for e-terra DNOM format). All network changes are automatically exported as XML files from Electric Office. E-terra receives information about new data via web services.

Manual export triggering.

The challenges

E-terra data model significantly differs from data model of Electric Office, so our team had to develop data model mapping from scratch. For example, we had to divide some single Electric Office objects into two or add virtual objects, so that e-terrra can ingest data properly.
